'The Upside of Anger"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Joan Allen has top billing in this story of a Detroit area middle aged woman trying to cope with the sudden loss of her husband, who has left without any warning or susequent communication. She has four grown and almost grown daughters, each with their own story. Allen is dogged by growing alcoholism and by a local who is also a drinker, former World Series star, and now reduced to a sports radio show and signing and selling autographed baseballs (Kevin Costener, surprisingly good here). At first just a drinking buddy, Costner succeeds in bedding Allen down, with consequences of course. The film ends with as surprise tragedy, hinted at in the beginning. I disgree with Ebert's four star rating and would give this a three.
